Over two dozen lawsuits have been filed in U.S. courts against fossil fuel companies by state and local government plaintiffs alleging climate harms and deceptions. But there are other central actors beyond these “Carbon Majors” that contribute heavily to the warming climate. Prominent among them is the animal agriculture sector, a significant emitter of greenhouse gases overall and an especially important source of potent methane and nitrous oxide emissions. Over the last several years, the animal agriculture industry is starting to face serious legal challenges—in U.S. courts and in courts around the world—grounded in its role in driving climate change.
